I was against the rescue of greece but I did not want to air that statement. Instead I'm trying to be a bit more precise and uplifing by suggesting alternative options but before I reveal them, I would like to model them in R.

and....surprise, surprise my alternative route would have caused most likely more damage on the long run.
